My general rule of thumb is that if you're afraid someone will find out you've done something, well you probably shouldnt' be doing it in the first place.
Crying you invaded my privacy afterwards rarely gets any sympathy form me.
Now I'm not saying Taj is a nice guy, seems a childish dick to me, but I like some of the stuff he's done. A lot of it makes me laugh, some of it I think needs to be done. SE made a habit of not giving a shit about it's hackable game and most of the bots were most used by people who didn't play for fun but to exploit a system. If Taj coudl figure out how to break shit, how it could be exploited, and be enough of a dick about it to make GMs take it up the ladder to Devs, all well and good.
Course he also goes off on trips of what he can do and makes personal vindictive moves against other people. Prosecute him, fine.
If he uses his powers for good instead of evil, give him kudos. He shits on your rug, rap on the nose with a rolled up newspaper.
Personally I like people who question things, and dig deeper if puplic responses don't add up. A lot of shit is amoral and not illegal, or illegal but not high enough of a priority to bother with. Generally in such a case we trust the fourth estate to be nosey fuckheads and bring bad behavior to light. Christ, I doubt there's many people who don't wish the media questioned a bit more of the shit our government regularly tries to feed us.
If someone ducks laws to bring some ugly private shit to public attention, I don't usually mind. Done it myself, often wish more people would. Policing each others behavior often leads to better behavior. On the other hand if someones going after you or someone else for personal reasons, cut'em up.
